JPH0253119A - Temperature control system for electric blanket - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep an electric blanket at a proper temperature just with the operation of a controller carried out only at the start of application of the blanket by storing previously a temperature control pattern for the temperature control of the blanket. CONSTITUTION:A temperature pattern designation key 106, for example, is pushed out of both designation keys 106 and 110 set at a temperature pattern designation input part 105. Thus a certain temperature pattern is designated. Then a temperature control part 102 reads the corresponding temperature pattern data A of a temperature pattern memory part 101 in a fixed cycle, e.g., 15 minutes based on said temperature pattern. Then the part 102 controls a current control part 103. Thus an electric blanket main body 104 undergoes the temperature control.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a temperature control method for an electric blanket, and particularly to a method for controlling the temperature according to a stored temperature change pattern.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the temperature control method for this type of electric blanket has been to arbitrarily set a scale on a control device during use, and set a constant temperature accordingly.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional electric blanket temperature control method allows the user to adjust the temperature at any time when the user wants to change the temperature, so there is a drawback that the user cannot adjust the temperature while sleeping.

Means for Solving Problem C] The electric blanket temperature control method of the present invention is capable of storing a plurality of patterns of temperature changes over a certain period of time in an electric blanket that adjusts the temperature by setting a temperature scale. The present invention is characterized in that a storage device is provided, and temperature adjustment for each pattern can be performed by specifying one of the patterns using a pattern selection device at the time of starting use.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment includes a temperature pattern storage section 101, a temperature control section 102, a current control section 103, an electric blanket main body 104, and a temperature pattern specification input section 105, and further includes a temperature pattern specification key on the temperature pattern specification input section 105. 106,107,
108, 109° 110, and temperature pattern storage section 10
1 is composed of temperature pattern data A to temperature pattern data E.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of each temperature pattern data in the temperature pattern storage section 101, and shows, for example, 12 hours worth of pattern data. Figure 3 (a).

(B), (C), (D), and (E) are pattern diagrams of temperature changes corresponding to temperature pattern data A to temperature pattern data E, respectively.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A certain temperature pattern is designated from the temperature pattern designation keys 106 to 110 on the temperature pattern designation input section 105 (assuming that the temperature pattern designation key 106 is pressed here), and the temperature control section 102 operates according to the designated pattern. , the corresponding temperature pattern data A of the temperature pattern storage unit 101 is read at a certain period (1'5 minutes as an example), and based on the temperature data TH of the data at the corresponding time shown in FIG. Next, by controlling the current control unit 103, the temperature of the electric blanket main body 104 is adjusted in the form of a temperature change pattern shown in FIG. 3(A).

Similarly, temperature pattern designation keys 107, 108°10
9. By pressing 110, temperature pattern data B, C, D, and E are read, respectively, and (b) in Fig. 3 is read.
, (C), (D), and (E).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has the advantage that by adjusting the temperature according to a plurality of pre-stored temperature adjustment patterns, the user only needs to operate the control device at the beginning of use.
